Al Hayat Hotel Apartments

Recent guest reviews

Staying in a one bedroom apartment, the mattress is uncomfortable and has huge dips in it. The kitchen has no microwave or electric kettle and a very basic one burner cooker which makes cooking the simplest meals a task.
Housekeeping are regular but one just left sheets (that were too small) on the bed for us to make up ourselves!
Kitchen sink keeps blocking, however whenever reception are called they promptly send someone to fix the issue.
Parking is disastrous and we have had to resort to taking taxis because our hire car is blocked in with other cars and we cant get it out!
Only staying here as my work booked this place for us.
If you basically just need a cheap place to crash then this is ok, however for a longer stay I would recommend paying more and staying somewhere a bit larger and more comfortable with more up to date amenities .

Rooms are neat and clean, I stayed in a studio for a month, no problem at all for even a single day. Free parking, right next to hypermarket and malls, Dubai just a walk away. Manager Mr. Basit is friendly and quite a nice guy, he also allowed us to do late checkout on my last day. Staff are friendly, Nitesh was a great help for anything needed. This Hotel has a good ambiance, gym & swimming pool facility. Their restaurant and cafe are inexpensive. I would highly recommend this place for a family trip or business trip to anyone who wants to keep their budget tight yet wants to have a comfortable stay.

Stayed at Al Hayat for 25 days, was an awesome stay.
Morning buffet was very good. Lot of salad options which I liked. Hot food to order when ever there is a low occupancy at the hotel.
Mr Kumar , Mr Yasir and also driver Khalid made my trip a memorable one. Thank you all. Hope to stay again with you in the future......

Budget hotel with bare minimum facilities
Laid back approach by reception as well as hotel staff
Rooms are not well maintained needs repair/replacement of many of its furnishings and fittings
Lacks efficiency in service
Advantage in staying in this property as its nearby Sharjah shopping district , tourist attraction such as buhairah corniche
Etc
Would not recommend to tourists who prefer high standard of efficiency as well promptness in service

The property is in a walking distance from the corniche, Al Jubail bus station (where you can get a bus to Dubai) and the iconic king Faisal Mosque..
Thumbs up:
WiFi is good
Rooms are nice
Staff are friendly
Thumbs down:
Cleaning services are not spontaneous, you may have to remind them to clean your room
A little bit expensive

If you have work some place in the middle of Sharjah, then this is the place. However if you need to travel out to Dubai, its avoidable because of the horrible traffic & the exits to Dubai from this location. The place itself needs sprucing up, right from the old gadgetary to the soft furnishings! The staff though courteous have to be reminded, a few times to even do things like cleaning of rooms / sinks in the kitchen. A general apartment hotel, looks like carrying on, on "automatic" way of life. Nothing much to write home about.

I have visited this hotel apartment and liked it as my home and all the services were good and was comfortable like staying back at my home. Also the location is nearby to malls and shopping centers. Happy staying

To start with, the wifi is good throughout the residence and the breakfast amazingly good value. However it was not clean, the kitchen facilities non existent and the fire escape was illegal. It is located out of the main tourist area and only close to two large mosques and the gold souk. It is difficult to get taxis outside so sometimes you need to walk to the main road. There were no towels in the room one day.
There are much better places to stay

Booked through hotels.com. When we arrived the hotel, the reception staff said that we did not have a booking. We showed them the confirmation from hotels.com, then they said that they did not have any rooms. After pushing them a bit, them admitted to have a room left. Seeing the deal we had got on hotels.com of 400 AED, they said that this was not possible and forced us to choose between finding a new hotel or paying 600 AED. With no internet, dead tired, and not knowing the area we decided to pay the 600 AED.
Except for being crooks, the hotel was average (3 out of 5).

We stayed at this hotel in November 2013. It is clean hotel and located in a quiet area in the middle of Sharjah City close to sharjah Central souq. The staff were kind and well responsive. I recommend it for families.
